And so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became God-given wisdom for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,

for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.

For though you have ten thousand teachers in the Christian life, you certainly could not have many fathers. For it was I myself who became your father through your union with Christ Jesus, which resulted from my telling you the good news.

Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ's People! you were pronounced righteous through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!

But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;

I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put aside childish things.
